I just think Cousins is an average QB that throws a lot and gets sacked a whole lot.
Really? Because outside of this year he was sacked 23 times in 2016 and 26 times in 2015. He was sacked 41 times this year because his OL was horrid. TJ Clemmings was starting at one point so that goes to show how bad they were. Case was sacked 22 times this year. So that is right around what Cousins was at every year until this past year. I dont think say he "gets sacked alot" is fair or carries any meaning to it.
Arguably he isn't as good as Keenum.
Not sure what you're basing that off of. The reason everyone is skeptical about Keenum is the fact that he has done literally nothing in his career other than be below average. Cousins is throwing more than 25 TDs a year and over 4,000 yards. And no not just because he "throws alot". He had the 8th most attempts in the league this year. I would say that is right around average. Especially since many QBs below him either werent that good or missed games. Lets put it this way, if Case Keenun played week 1 and the first half of Chicago in week 5, he would've been right where Cousins is at when it comes to attempts. So again saying "he throws alot" carries little to no weight.
Sure, there is an argument that Washington's D was bad and that is why Washington couldn't make the playoffs.
Yeah their defense was awful. Simple as that. Look at the teams in the conferences championships this year. All legit defenses outside of NE (they are a whole different animal)
Cousins just makes mistakes and he is less accurate then Keenum.
Again.... where is this coming from? You're basing this off of one season. Do you know that Case's CAREER completion percentage is 61.9 which is actually inflated because of this year. Outside of this year his comp percentage is 58.5 which is awful. Kirk's completion percentage for his career is 65.5 and 67% over the last 3 years. Enough said
